The Implications of Feedback Frequency for Employee Creativity
(2022)
Managers are still floundering when they have to decide on the optimal level of feedback frequency; either when they consider themselves as a source of feedback, but also when they shape the feedback environment of their employees, e.g., by allowing more (or less) frequent customer feedback. Furthermore, given that feedback is a time-consuming task, managers might be reluctant to provide feedback frequently, foregoing a potentially powerful lever for increasing employee creativity. Ultimately, clarifying the ambiguities ...

Evaluation of Bitumen-Aggregate Adhesion Bond Based on Surface Free Energy and Comparison with Moisture Sensitivity and Asphalt Performance Tests
(2024)
The adhesion bond between aggregate particles and bitumen plays a crucial role in ensuring the durability of asphalt pavement, and it is influenced by factors such as bitumen-aggregate compatibility, moisture exposure, other environmental conditions, and traffic loads. Failure of the adhesion bond results in the detachment of bitumen from the aggregate surface and leads to stripping in the presence of moisture. This, in turn, leads to the development of macro cracks and disintegration within the asphalt pavement, ...

Consumers’ Disposal Behavior at the Base of the Pyramid
(2024)
This dissertation explores the sources of sustainable waste management by examining the disposal behavior of low-income consumers at the base of the pyramid (BoP). Consumer product and package disposal behavior varies internationally and requires a selective strategy for waste management at the BoP. Uniform approaches to waste management have proven inadequate, as BoP markets are complex and heterogeneous and thus need to be considered individually.
Therefore, this dissertation focuses on identifying factors influence ...

Static and Dynamic Characterization of MEMS Micromirror and Microshutter arrays: Reliability and Lifetime
(2024)
Buildings are responsible for 40 % of the primary energy consumption and 36 % of the total CO2 emissions. There is a huge potential to decrease energetic consumption for lighting and heating/cooling by substituting the 85 % of inefficient glazing areas in EU’s buildings with energy efficient smart glazing windows. A micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) based smart glazing system comprising of millions of micro mirrors (invisible to the bare eye) is investigated here. This concept allows dynamic light steering by ...

Literatur- und Filmberichterstattung als journalistisches Feld
(2024)
Die interdisziplinäre Studie „Literatur- und Filmberichterstattung als journalistisches Feld: Vampir-Narrative in deutschen Feuilletons“ nimmt zwei Tendenzen der Berichterstattung über kinder- und jugendzentrierte Vampir-Narrative in den deutschen Feuilletons in den Blick. Sie weist nach, dass sowohl die negative Berichterstattung über jugendzentrierte Vampir-Narrative wie Twilight oder The Vampire Diaries als auch die positiven Artikel über kinderzentrierte Vampir-Narrative wie Der kleine Vampir oder Die Vampirschwestern ...

Fast parallel quasi-static time series simulator for active distribution grid operation with pandapower
(IET, 2021)
The increasing penetration from intermittent renewable distributed energy resources in distribution grid brings along challenges in grid operation and planning. To evaluate the impact on the grid voltage profile, grid losses, and discrete actions from assets (e.g. transformer tap changes), quasi-static simulation is an appropriate method. Quasi-static time series and Monte-Carlo simulation requires a tremendous number of power flow calculations (PFCs), which can be significantly accelerated with a parallel High-Performance ...
Aufsatz
Holzdesign trifft Kunststofftechnik
(2022)
Werkstoffverbunde aus Holzgeweben in einer thermoplastischen Matrix verbinden die Idee des textilen Holzbaus mit der Faserverbundtechnologie. In einem Projekt werden Fassadenelemente aus solchen Wood Textile Composites hergestellt. Dabei spielt neben den mechanischen Anforderungen auch die gestalterische Seite und die Akzeptanz der zukünftigen Nutzer eine wichtige Rolle.

Ordoliberalism and the Making of the Economic Constitution: State, Law, and Money in the Market Economy
(2023)
The aim of my research is to explore the political economy of ordoliberalism in its historical trajectory. Beginning from the years of its inception during the interwar period, the dissertation focuses on the specific conditions and political economy of the Weimar Republic as the framework within which the ordoliberal framework was developed. Moving on to the postwar period, the dissertation examines the attempts of operationalization of the ordoliberal framework within the context of West Germany and the social ...
